A few questions for the paint experts, any advice appreciated.
1. Can anyone explain to me the difference between Dulux trade eggshell and the retail version apart from the cost, about an extra £8?
2. I have just started painting the internal doors in my house and instead of using the trade paint from b&q I opted for the retail, don't ask me why. Anyway, I painted a couple of panelled doors last night on the landing and I am not happy! The paint was like water and causing run after run which I have never had a problem with before. Also, the finish to me looks like gloss, it has a very shiny finish, not what I was expecting from eggshell. Has Dulux changed their paint over the past couple of years?
I have used trade Dulux eggshell and satinwood in the past and the finish has been good, low sheen and easy to apply. Off to buy the trade paint this lunchtime!
3. Would I be ok to just rub down the doors (again) that I painted last night and apply either trade eggshell or satinwood straight over?
4. What is the difference between white and pure brilliant white?
5. Would you recommend satinwood over eggshell, this is for hall, stairs and landing?
Cheers
